The woman who checked my groceries this afternoon was named Tetris. Surprisingly, I was able to contain myself.

Your post said he was named ifHitler

Ah, ok. I was confused. I hit "i" instead of "o". Should have said "of" Hitler. But I knew what I wanted to say so when I reread the post I was reading "of" and couldn't figure it out :p

There is a local family that owns a store which is called Spiller Furniture. Spiller is their family name. They recently announced that they were naming their son Major. Seriously? Major Spiller. That kid is going to have a hard time in HS and College.

I went to a work presentation given by a guy named John Holmes. I saw his name on the printout and thought it was a joke at first.

Oh, I'll add this one in.

We wanted to name my son after his two grandparents, Raymond and Charles. Needless to say, we went with Charles Raymond. Not Raymond Charles (Ray Charles). I wonder if this will ever bite him in the bottom.

I just talk to a guy named Mal... WTF? Not a guys name.

One time I provisioned a account for a new director at my last job, his name was Steve Hits. The user name I gave him was "shits". I wasn't even thinking. Shits@company.com
